Director's Welcome

Welcome to the FitzGerald Academy! We provide an outstanding learning environment for medical students of the University of Toronto. St. Michael's is the anchor hospital of the FitzGerald Academy and we also have preclinical and clinical opportunities at St. Joseph's Health Centre and Bridgepoint Health. It is our priority to support student clinical education by offering a diversity of experiences. We bring together amazing students and dedicated, compassionate teachers in a setting that is focused on providing the best clinical care to our patients. We believe that treating students with respect results in students learning how to treat patients well - with expertise, dignity and compassion - Dr. Molly Zirkle, MEd, FRCSC.
